Ridgecrest Baptist Church News ::
Spring Musical – April 20 – 10:30 am Worship. “3:16 the numbers of hope” is a worship musical celebrating our salvation. The worship service will feature video clips of testimonies from Ridgecrest members telling the story of how they came to know the Lord. Beginning March 30th we will have an area set up for members to stop by and record their brief story. The videos will help us celebrate what God has done and will also paint a picture of salvation for those who are invited to the service who don’t know the Lord. THERE WILL BE ONLY ONE WORSHIP SERVICE - NO SUNDAY SCHOOL OR SMALL GROUPS. 9:00 AM - Family Prayer Stations 10:30 AM - Worship Celebration
